Joshua Drake was kind enough to let me forward this to you -- we'd like to make sure people know about the event. I've gotten some feedback from folks that they didn't realize it was in October, not November, this year. In 2 weeks, the free OpenSQL Camp conference Boston edition will occur, Oct 16-17 (with an informal social event on Friday 10/15 in the evening) at the MIT Stata Center near the Kendall T stop on the Red Line. This is an awesome event that we are sponsoring this year, so we want to make sure you hear about it. OpenSQL Camp is a conference of, by, and for the open-source database community of users and developers. It is a place where people come to learn, to participate and to contribute. In other words, it's a great conference, and if you attend, it will be better. OpenSQL Camp is open to all – sessions have included PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL (and storage engines and forks thereof), Drizzle (and tools such as Google Proto Buffers), DBIx::Cache, Gearman, cloud computing, Unix tips, query optimization, Apache Derby, BlackRay, Continuent Tungsten, DB Clustering, Firebird, CouchDB, MongoDB, Cassandra, Firewater, how to version schemas, Waffle Grid / Storm Cloud, databases on SSDs, and even "soft" topics like the Open Database Alliance. We have some great representation from all the major open source players -- MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, Cassandra, and have representatives from other players such as Tokutek, VoltDB, SlackDB and more. The conference is in the style of BarCamp, where sessions for the weekend are chosen by the attendees on Saturday morning. To attend: To register (it's free!) just fill out the information at http://opensqlcamp.org/Events/Boston2010/AttendeeList -- it requires afree login, but if you don't want to create a login just use username: guest password: thankyou (Note: if you'd like to set up openID to work with MediaWiki for opensqlcamp.org, let me know and I can get you the access to make the changes).
